| Well seen and captured, this photograph has a bit of a gloomy feel to it. In one sense, it could be interpreted as commentary on the state of the country in the US at the moment. But it can also be seen as a moment of clarity and clearing after the storm. And to me, if your photograph can evoke differing emotional reactions from your viewers, you’ve done a pretty good job. |

| Great art invites—or provokes—a perspective I might not otherwise bring to the world. In photography, this often means composing an image that arrests attention and elicits a response. This image does exactly that. On the surface, it’s a well-timed, well-processed shot of a puddle on a country road. But at a deeper level, it exists because the photographer noticed what might otherwise be overlooked: not just the puddle, not just the reflected structures, but the inversion of reality and the fleeting, unexpected beauty of a found moment. I don’t know precisely what the artist intended to communicate, but that seems secondary. What matters is that this photograph enables me to share the artist's unique perspective on their world. |

| Beautiful framing, the image feels like a snapshot from a dream. The fact that the image has been flipped upside down is not immediately obvious. Beautiful post-processing highlights the photographers skill. - Comment written before voting result but posted after. |

| Art has an impatience for reality, wants to get beyond it. |
